Game Connect Asia Pacific (GCAP) is Australia’s premier game development conference, focusing specifically on skills development, addressing industry trends and international business matching. GCAP delivers thought provoking, creative and innovative sessions covering programming, art, design, management and more, from leaders in the local and international game development industry.
Systems are Everywhere. We see them in everyday life, and in turn, this is a major part of what we develop in our games.
Systemic is when these systems start interacting with and influencing each other. With the hopes of developing interesting and possible emergent gameplay. Developing systemic gameplay is an interesting challenge for both Programmers and Game Designers.
This talk will discuss my approach to designing game systems and their interactions together. And how to go from systems design to finding the fun in your gameplay. What works? What doesn’t? And how to find mechanics that will be interesting to a diverse audience. This talk is geared to AI Programmers, Gameplay Programmers and Game Designers.
This session was made possible thanks to Film Victoria’s sponsorship of GCAP’s International Speaker Program.
